COLLEGE ROLL OF HONOR 



Adjutant General Hodsdon, for whom a statement of " Bowdoin 
in the War" was prepared for his Report of 1864-5, has provided 
for a revised edition to appear in the Report now in press. He 
has kindly consented, that a number of copies may be struck off 
for the special use of the College. This record embraces the names 
of all, graduates and undergraduates, that have been in the public 
service. If a name is left out or mention of any service omitted, 
it is not from want of pains or of desire that every individual should 
be thus honorably commemorated. 

May, 1867. / 

BOWDOIN COLLEGE IN THE WAR. 
Class of 1823. 
Luther V. Bell ; born, Francestown, N. H., Dec, 1806 ; son of 
Hon. Samuel Bell, LL. D., Governor of New Hampshire and U. S. 
Senator ; a younger brother of the late Senator James Bell from 
New Hampshire. He first engaged after graduation in mercan- 
tile pursuits in New York, but not finding them congenial with 
his tastes, he devoted himself to the medical profession, and 
entered upon the practice of it at Londonderry, N. H. 4le was 
a successful competitor for a prize essay on the treatment of 
the insane, which, with his growing reputation as a medical prac- 
titioner, led to his appointment as physician of the McLean Asy- 
lum, Somerville, Mass., 1837. His annual reports were esteemed 
models of their kind. He resigned this place in 1857, and became 
consulting physician, especially in cases of mental disease. He 
planned the building of the Butler Insane Asylum, Providence, 
R. I., visiting Europe for that object. He was President of the 
Massachusetts Medical Society two years. Prompted by love of 
country, at great risk of his life, — for he was himself a subject of 
treatment under pulmonary disease, — he entered the public service 
as Surgeon of the 11th Mass. Vols., and was in active duty at the 



(2) 

first battle of Bull Run. After that battle he thus wrote to a 
friend : "The whole volume of military surgery was opened before 
me on Sunday afternoon with illustrations horrid and sanguinary. 
Sudley Church with its hundred wounded victims will form a pic- 
ture in my sick dreams so long as I live. I have never spent one 
night out of camp since I came into it, and a bed and myself have 
been strangers, practically, for mouths ; yet I have never had one 
beginning of a regret at my decision to devote what may be left of 
life and ability to the great cause. I have, as you know, four 
young motherless children. Painful as it is to leave such a charge, 
I have forced myself into reconciliation by the reflection that the 
great issue under the stern arbitrament of arms is, whether or not 
our children are to have a country." He was promoted to the 
rank of Brigade Surgeon, and was Medical Director in Gen. Hook- 
er's Division, when an exacerbation of his disease terminated his 
valuable life at Budd's Ferry, February, 1862, at the age of 56. 
He received the degree of D. C. L. from King's College, N. S., 
184t.

James Means; born, Amherst, N. H. After graduating, be 
taught school at Ellsworth one year, then pursued a course of the- 
ological study at Bangor and at Andover, Mass., and was settled 
in the ministry at Concord, Mass. several years. Bronchial com- 
plaints compelling him to intermit public speaking, he took charge 
of Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass., and occupied this position 
with usefulness and reputation until advantageous offers induced 
him to make a foreign tour of two years. On his return, he sup- 
plied vacant pulpits in Massachusetts and in Detroit, Mich., at 
which last place he was invited to settle, but declined ; was agent 
for the Theological Seminary at Andover in an effort to procure 
additional endowment. Being soon convinced that he could not 
resume the pastoral oflBce, he took charge of a Young Ladies' 
Boarding School, Lebanon, N. H., whence he removed in a year or 
two and became associated in the Laselle Seminary, Auburndale, 



(3) 

Mass. Of a truly public spirit, an ardent patriot, of the most gen- 
erous sympathies, and of great activity, he entered the service of 
his country and went out to Newbern, N. C, where he was Chap- 
lain of the Academy Green Hospital. Manifesting deep interest 
in the instruction of the contrabands, of whom thousands were 
congregated at that point, and engaging personally with great suc- 
cess for their good, he received an appointment from Gen. Foster 
of Superintendent of Contrabands, and subsequently from Gov. 
Stanley a commission as Captain, under which he built barracks 
and otherwise provided for his charge. In the midst of abundant 
and exhausting labors, he was struck down by typhoid fever, and 
died at the age of fifty years, sincerely mourned by all who knew 
him. The writer has recently heard that his memory is still pre- 
cious in that community.
